My name is Rinko. I am the wife of Kenji Goto, the journalist who is being held by a group in Syria.
He was taken from me on 25 October 2014, and since then I have been working tirelessly behind the
scenes for his release.
I have not spoken out until now as I have been trying to protect my children and family from the media
attention Kenji's plight has created around the world. My husband and I have two very young daughters.
Our baby girl was only three weeks old when Kenji left. I hope our oldest daughter, who is just two, will
get to see her father again. I want them both to grow up knowing their father.
My husband is a good and honest man who went to Syria to show the plight of those who suffer. I believe
that Kenji may have also been trying to find out about Haruna Yukawa's situation. I was extremely saddened by
the death of Haruna and my thoughts go out to his family. I know all too well what they are going through.
